Kershaw Launch 13 Auto Knife, Two-Tone Wharncliffe Blade

Lightweight strong blade awesome shape well-designed strong Spring action great price point

Love to profile and light weight of this knife.

I bought my first Kershaw Launch about 8 months ago and immediately fell in love with the performance. Hence, when I saw the add for the Launch 13 - I immediately came to BladeOps and purchased it. This knife is great, it is very light in weight - I have grown accustomed to some heavy EDCs and when I first picked up the package - I seriously thought they had neglected to send the knife. I got into the package and the knife was in its Kershaw box. I just played with it in my hand, getting use to how light the knife was - I had not even opened the blade and I was already very pleased with the purchase. I then depressed the button and **Snap** the blade is opened, it is a very positive snap open process and you know the blade is fully opened and locked in place. There is no hesitation, a quick swish and your are ready to do some work. As for the esthetics of the knife - I really like the two tone blade, makes it stand out and blends with the lines of the handle, the handle is, again very light and fits into my somewhat large hand. The grip just screams to be held firmly and with conviction for what ever the job is. Overall, this new addition to the Launch franchise is a very nice looking, light weight and clean opening knife.
